Come to think of it, what is on-topic here? The nitty-gritty math and 
detail of crypto isn't seen much.

I guess the list is more related to the information-security side of 
crypto now, with a strong UK bent.

Not that that's bad, crypto without IS is pretty useless in the real 
world - as is modern-day IS without crypto.

I mean, crypto is all about IS, innit? That is what crypto is for after 
all, to secure information.

And IS doesn't work well without crypto either.




Making a formal division between the two?

I think, overall, it wouldn't help anything.

People in information security who don't know about cryptography are 
almost as useless as cryptography people who don't know about 
information security.
